Little information given on check in

All in all, it was just an average stay on a business trip. Upon check in I was asked if I would like to add breakfast on my booking which I didnt at the time but wasnt told what time breakfast was. I decided to go for breakfast the following morning but took a guess on the time as no information in the room as the times for breakfast or dinner. In fact no information booklet at all in the room There were on the bed when I arrived in the room the cards you hook on the door which you use for do not distrurb which is what I thought they were so put them on the side and left them there. When I got back to my room after being at work all day, my room had not been serviced and a card pushed through my door to say Id said for my room not to be serviced by house keeping. What the cards are for are to inform housekeeping that you either did or did not want housekeeping to service your room. if you were supposed to do this you should be informed at check in or information in the room to tell you to do this. Never in all the years of staying in a hotel and this is supposed to be a 4 star do you have to let housekeeping know to clean your room or not surely in this day and age it should be an automatic thing, you even get this done in a premier inn, due to my room not being serviced I had to go all the way back down to reception to get some teabags as I didn't have any left. Just a little more information to guests is what is required upon check in

Last minute booking and was very lucky to have a lakeside view double room which I must say the view. Checked in and was welcomed by two lovely young ladies on the desk who were amazing! Rooms are lovely, smart tv’s and perfect space. We were having issues with the TV and WiFi connection, immediately sorted by the manager who kindly changed our room to solve this issue. So grateful and was an amazing stay! We will definitely be back, so relaxing and a lovely walk around the lake. Online pictures / bookings sites do not do this place justice it’s definitely worth the money and a beautiful hotel! Thank you again!!
